The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Neanderthals’ big battle today is not with mammals but with reptiles as they battle for primacy in auto insurance commercials.

Neanderthals Conquered Mammoths, Why Not Us?

Have ya been to Arkansas? Needs to be fenced of anyways.

[Grizzled Bear]

At the English Channel Islands, for example, 18 woolly mammoths and five woolly rhinoceroses dating to 150,000 years ago "were driven off a cliff and died by falling into a ravine about 30 meters (over 98 feet) deep. They were then butchered."...

But the Neanderthals became extinct because they had no beer to drink with their barbecue.
